Close to Paradise

CLOSE TO PARADISE By Terry Redlin - "Who is closer to paradise?" asks Terry Redlin. "Is it the man and his canine companion who have found this secluded fishing hole? Or is it the retired couple in the lovingly cared for A-frame with birdhouses and beautifully tended flower gardens?" Both in their own way, the artist suggests, are living out their dreams, enjoying the great outdoors and receiving the full healing powers of nature. As in many Redlin paintings we find specific reminders of his boyhood. The artist owns and continues to use an old six-horse Evinrude outboard. Back in those days, it was legal to fish from two lines. Limited edition of 9,500 signed and numbered prints. Image size, 18-1/2" x 32".
